Spinach has a lot of calcium, but the high oxalic acid levels prevent absorption of the calcium. Same with related greens such as beet green and chard. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! Greens in the cabbage family, such as collards, kale, bok choi, and broccoli, are good calcium sources. Good luck getting your kid to eat them!

My 10-year-old has IBS too, and I was very worried about calcium. I found a liquid calcium supplement at the HFS by a company called Liquid Health. It disappears nicely into smoothies.

I've never heard that the calcium in fortified OJ was not absorbed well. Where did you get this info? I would like to check it out, because I rely on OJ for a lot of my own calcium intake. Thanks!
